Although extreme environmental conditions have
little effect on the process of applying gypsum board,
special procedures or precautions should be observed
during the application and drying of joint compounds
and adhesives. When weather conditions are extreme,
either hot, cold, humid, or dry, the drying times of joint
treatment materials are affected. Hot, dry weather
accelerates drying; cold weather slows drying and
increases the risk of freezing; wet or humid weather
slows drying. Weather shifts from one extreme to
another can cause movement in wood framing
(moisture related) or in steel framing (temperature
related) which can have an effect on the final
appearance of any given project.
